Independent Resource Sharing

Independent resource sharing isolates an operator or group of operators
from other operators, by defining two separate suites. When one suite has
acquired a resource, only the operator or group of operators in that suite
will be able to control it. An example of independent sharing is splitting a
4-ME Karrera system into two independent 2-ME switchers (

Figure 110

).

Figure 110. Independent Resource Sharing Example

When a suite acquires a physical resource (like an ME) it uses that resource
logically. For example, the ME B physical resource can be used as a logical
PGM PST bank. Each of the two switchers created can therefore have their
own PGM PST bank, and this allows effects built in one suite to operate cor-
rectly when loaded and run in the other suite. Effects will also run correctly
in the same suite when run at a later time even if different physical
resources have been acquired. Resources can be released by a suite. Once
released, these resources can be acquired by the other suite. This permits
dynamic reconfiguration of the system resources to meet varying opera-
tional requirements.
